31DC13 Day 21: Inspired by a Color

Hi guys! I'm sorry I have been quiet for a while. My vacation went really great, but of course I managed to get sick right after it... And I've been really busy with everything, but now I'm well again and in full strength to do some serious posting. I have quite many posts that I want to get done before Christmas, so stay tuned! I'll also have something quite nice in store for you guys too...

I was hoping to get the challenge finished by Christmas but because of my vacation and me being sick and all that, that doesn't really seem possible now. Well, that alright, I just have to continue this one after Christmas. But I do have at least today's task done! So it's time for the inspiration part of the challenge and today was about being inspired by a color. Because the Christmas is so near, I wanted to do something christmassy, so I decided to be inspired by red.

I got the idea for these nails from this OPI Holiday mani tutorial and from Sonnela as she had done really gorgeous nails using the same tutorial. I started the mani with two coats of China Glaze Elfin' Around. Then I painted parts of my ring and index finger as the OPI tutorial suggested, though I used OPI The Show Must Go On and then placed the glitters from OPI I Snow You Love Me.

I really loved how this mani turned out, it looks really classy and also very appropriate for the holidays.

Two years ago I was inspired by purple, so back then I showed you two gorgeous purple holographic polishes:
